Circus on the Fontanka (St. Petersburg) invites you to summer performances of the show “The Terrible Power of the Zapashny Brothers”

Colorfulness, frequent changes of locations, the highest professionalism of the artists and the use of modern technologies - this is what the Zapashny brothers relied on when creating a new circus program.

A multi-tiered arena, pyrotechnic, laser, projection equipment, an airplane, a train and 130 performers - you’ve definitely never seen such a circus before!

Representatives of the most famous circus dynasty never cease to amaze viewers. Inspired by the Hollywood blockbusters Indiana Jones, Lara Croft and The Mummy, Zapashny created a new unique show, combining elements of action and circus classics.

If for you a circus performance is just a set of numbers, what you will see at this show will amaze you.

In just a few hours, a story of love and friendship, full of dangers and secrets, plays out in the arena. The action takes place in the 30s of the last century. Young people are looking for mysterious artifacts, unaware that they are not the only ones who want to become their owners. The villain Schultz also wants to obtain artifacts, because they give enormous power. In pursuit of the treasure, our heroes will visit the wild jungle, fly on an airplane, and even enter the other world, where they will fight zombies.

Acrobats, jugglers, tightrope walkers and tightrope walkers are the main characters of this show. The most complex performances, the highest skill and complete fearlessness - these are the circus performers of the 21st century.

Of course, it won't be possible without animals. Tigers and lions, elephants and monkeys, horses and parrots will show their skills.
